In this lecture Kellam suggests that the Procession Panel on Comb Ridge (SE Utah) contains valuable information about the size of households and villages during the late Basketmaker III and early Pueblo I period. He argues that the Procession Panel depicts a community in transition, when some households began to reorganize as members of lineages and materialized this relationship by constructing large, multihousehold surface dwellings. However, not all households organized into lineage-scale groups, and these differences between these two kinds of social organization created fault lines where social inequalities could later develop.
